A good host always serves more
gin than he drinks.

I am glad that everyone was
together and had a good time.
It's amazing how far the site has
come and to consider how far
it will go in the future.

We have fantastic people and
located everywhere forging
relationships that will last, for
some, a lifetime - I suspect.

I will be the fortunate one,
to know you, all and with un-
ceasing gratitude to Jeric and
his wife BuyerQueen, not
leaving out the administrators
and moderators etc. that help
them in this great vision.

Siri, DB, LadyI (her husband:
Hunter), Ave, Viola and our
recent addition: Illusion were
and are wonderful, wonderful
people to have shared that
great show but even better
company with!

I am glad the dinner was
satisfactory. Siri and DB had
blue caipirinhas, which the
bartenderress chastised us
for but we came an under-
standing, later. hehe

I look forward, again, to the
next great SST-Gathering!

I just want to take this moment to say thank you to Siri and Dutch for for all their organization in getting this all together. Talking with them was so wonderful, and it's clear to see their passion for the site. They do a lot of work behind the scenes that needs to be recognized. Thank you crazy Dutch men!

Also a big thank you to LadyI, Illusion, AveD, and of course our resident bartender Pete for letting me share in this gathering. It was such a joy to meet you all and spend time talking about our passions. I will treasure these moments._________________The journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step.

Thanks Viola for the warm wishes and concern for our little Joanie. We still don't know why her tummy still hurts her, but she is keeping the food inside! I would have loved to have met you in person - will have to make an event soon!

Take care,

I cannot say or exclaim loud enough about my
wonderful 3 days with the ECG gang. Meeting
you all, sharing our stories & laughter, Pete's perfect cocktails,
and of course, attending that glorious concert. It was incredible.

Angela, I missed you but hope all is going well for your
step daughter. I'm sending my best wishes
for her swift recovery.

I hope to get some of my photos on asap, in
another post. What a grand time! THANKS
for the fabulous memories, ECG gang!!!

I ♥ you, SST.

I don't have the restaurant picture (I hardly have any with people in them actually haha) but here is the link to all the ones I took:

LadyI...there is one that AveD sent me that you are in, from when we were talking in Pete's room. Since I didn't ask you first if you wanted it put up, I will take that one down if you want.

Photobucket loaded them in a weird random order, and I don't have the energy to mess with it and try to reorganize it at this moment, so if anyone has any questions on what anything is, just let me know._________________The journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step.
